• High-capacity high-density 10G interface. It is the industry’s first-class 1U cassette switch, with up to 72x10G interfaces capability, meeting the challenge of high density and high bandwidth access in next-generation cloud computing data centers.
• Rich data center features. NSW6630 Series is equipped with the TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) technology to enable construction of ultra-large layer 2 networks consisting of more than 10,000 physical servers. In combination of ISIS routing, the TRILL technology calculates the forwarding paths to address the issue of a single forwarding path and loops, thus improving bandwidth utilization to 100%. In this way, it significantly enhances network stability and realizes quick convergence of the Layer 2 network. Compatible with VXLAN, 802.3 Qbg, NSW 6630 Series enables a highly integrated network combining traditional front-end server and back-end storage.
• Multi-service support capability. With MCE, NSW6630 Series creates and maintains separate routing tables for each VPN to ensure user isolation on the same device. It can serve as a reliable and economical solution for the secure isolation of multi-services in the network. NSW6630 Series supports multiple protocols such as IGMP, IGMP Snooping and PIM. It supports large-scale multicast entries to fully satisfy the requirements of IP HD video surveillance and other multicast services. Compatible with fast ring network recovery protocol (FRRP) and fast link recovery protocol (FLRP),NSW6630 Series provides a self-recovery performance of less than 20 milliseconds in applications that are prone to lose packets, such as video conferencing and IP HD video surveillance. Multiple services and heavy traffic will have no impact on convergence time, thus ensuring the normal business operation.
• Virtual Switching Matrix (VSM). NSW6630 Series adopts Virtual Switching Matrix (VSM) technology, which performs virtualization of multiple physical devices into a single logical device for unified configuration and management. VSM brings about the following benefits to users: Unified management: VSM technology enable users to log in to a logical device from any port of any device, achieving unified management of all devices in the Virtual Switching Matrix without physically connecting to each device for configuration and management. Simplified services: VSM is compatible with various layer 2 and layer 3 network protocols. In a layer-3 network, VSM technology can perform virtualization of multiple layer-3 switches into a single logical device for unified routing computing. Thanks to the cross-device link aggregation technology, aggregation on physical ports of different devices can be realized. The Series also supports load sharing and can be used to replace the traditional spanning tree protocols, increasing bandwidth utilization and shorten the convergence time in case of a network failure. Flexible expansion: Hot-plug is enabled when a new device joins or leaves the VSM group. Therefore, there will be no impact on the normal operation of other devices, ensuring flexible expansion as needed.
• Sound security control policy. With a built-in authentication server, NSW6630 Series provides multiple authentication modes based on MAC address, 802.1x, and Portal. It supports dynamic or static binding of user identity, such as user account, IP, MAC, VLAN, and interface. Dynamic distribution of policies is supported. NSW6630 Series is provided with enhanced ACL by supporting large-capacity ingress and egress ACLs. It also enables ACL distribution based on VLAN, which simplifies user configuration and avoids waste of ACL resources.
• Rich QoS policy. NSW6630 Series supports traffic identification on interfaces. It provides multiple stream classification based on source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP address, TCP/UDP port number, protocol type, and VLAN. With priority queues based on hardware, it is compatible with multiple queue scheduling algorithms such as SP, WRR, and SP+WPP. Support congestion management and rate limits on interfaces.
• Full support of IPV4/IPv6 dual stack, NSW6630 Series supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel (including manual Tunnel, 6to4 Tunnel, ISATAP Tunnel) as well as IPv6 layer 3 wire-speed forwarding. It can be flexibly deployed on a network with only IPv4 or IPv4, or with both IPv4 and IPv4, thus satisfying the transition requirements from IPv4 to IPv6.
• Outstanding management. With interface mirroring in both inbound and outbound directions, NSW6630 Series can monitor packets on specified interfaces, and copy packets from these interfaces to monitoring interface for network detection and troubleshooting. Compatible with SNMPv1/v2/v3 standard network management protocol, NSW6630 Series provides CLI command lines and a Web management interface.
